Cecil the Lion
Cecil is made from Jonni’s mask pattern. I made his eyes from cabochons which I painted and glued into the mask. His mane is felted fibre, which I am still clearing up!
Includes Jonni’s famous Paper Mache Clay recipe, and tips on choosing the right recipe for your next project.
Your Lion is amazing, great detail!
Thanks.
Absolutely amazing x
Thanks Nancy, loved applying the mane, really turned him into a handsome beast!
He is so realistic you can almost hear him roar x
Truly stunning work!
Thank you Lisa Anne.
Cecil the Lion is wonderful! I can’t believe how great the felted fibre looks. I just love Cecil!
Thank you Pat. I do love finding alternative materials to use.
He is magnificent!!!!! Awesome job!!
Thank you, Jonni’s patterns are great to work with .
Your creation here is amazing. How in the world did you attach the felted wool to the head? Super work..
BTW I am a HUGE FAN OF Jonni’s patterns as well. They’re just souch better than anything else out there ??
Hi Peggy,
I used a hot glue gun and applied the hot glue to the sculpture and then added the formed felt on top of the glue and gently pressed it down, but not too hard otherwise it would have flattened the fur. Don’t try to comb the fur though – otherwise he will end up bald!!!!!!!
Wow – it’s wonderful! The felted fur is perfect (love the beard), and the painted part of his face look soft, too. The softness gives him a nice personality – like someone you’d like to start a conversation with. Thanks for sharing it with us. 🙂
Thanks Jonni, Cecil was a pleasure to paint.
